[Alpine-info] Missing Fields in Composer in Ubunto WSL?

[Karen Lewellen via Alpine-info]

Hi Chime,
Just wondering,
Does this screen reader have a command that will read what it considers to 
be the current window?
Or one that's you read  what might be considered the current page?
Asking, in case that is impacting what is being spoken.
Kare
